Anonymous asked: I started off bulimic. Then I recovered and got anerexia, now I'm trying to recover but I'm slowly losing control at night and eat so much (so much for me's not that much) that I goto bed with a horrible stomach ache and guilt every night. I haven't gained weight but I still feel gross. And my digestive systems all messed up now! Any advice? :(
Anonymous asked: i want to start eating again, i will be strong. How can i start eating without my weight ballooning?
Anonymous asked: Yeah but I won't go to the counselor on Campus. I went to him a new times and I didn't like him, and I don't like nurses, I have a doctor back home and I don't need another. I should be able to control my own life, and the way I want to live it.
Anonymous asked: Stupid people in my life keep telling me that I need to go impatient for treatment. They freaked out because I passed out a few times. I am at college and I don't want my parents in on any thing going on with me. But my school is threatening to kick me off campus, if I don't go and see the school counselor, the school nurse and the director of health and human services once a week. I...
Anonymous asked: It's funny--a few weeks ago I sort of "diagnosed" myself with Binge Eating disorder. You would think that I would improve now that I know I have an issue with it...but since I've realized that I have it, I feel like it's gotten worse. I feel like I'm waiting for someone to stop me. I need someone to tell me to stop. But no one knows, really. I've kind of hinted...
Anonymous asked: I'm the same person that said theyre overweight and I appreciate you trying to help but you kind of put words in my mouth and put a stereotype on me because I said I'm overweight. I don't have an over eating issue. I starve myself and when I do eat, I throw up most of the time. but I'm still overweight. and it's really hard. but you clearly don't understand at all....
estrellachild asked: i can relate to the previous message about not needed to gain weight. i was anorexic for seven years and after going through treatment two years ago, i've gained about sixty pounds. i needed some of that weight, but now i'm borderline "overweight" it's harder for me than ever to find a way to be healthy. if i try to lose weight, it's too triggering, yet a few pounds...
Anonymous asked: I feel really out of place when I look on these recovery tumblrs and everyone is saying that they need to gain weight. I'm overweight but it's clear that I don't eat enough or normally. and I've pretty much been diagnosed with an eating disorder. but if I up my intake I will gain unneccesary weight. and i know I should lose weight, not gain. it's so hard to be in this...
Anonymous asked: I have to gain 10 pounds, I've already gone through all the steps and everything to get to the point to accept that I NEED to gain the weight. The problem is I recently became involved with my best friend who I've liked for 3 years. He's so supportive and is always telling me that I'll look great with 10 more pounds, but I'm terrified that he won't like me...
Anonymous asked: I am in early stages of recovery for anorexia. In 3 weeks I've gained 13lbs from eating 2000 calories a day. I know some of it is water and constipation but I am terrified that I'll keep on gaining, even though technically I should be maintaining my weight at those calories and I am weight restored. Also I am having horrible bloating and constipation even though I'm eating the right...
Anonymous asked: Hi, I have been going to a doctor for my eating disorder since September. I have made great progress with my meal plan this month, but I feel alot bigger and I got on the scale a school and saw I was over the weight my doctor said would be minimal for my period to come back, which made me very anxious. Then I e-mailed my doctor and she said that when my period comes back I will be at a healthy...
Anonymous asked: I've been on and off recovery from bulimia for 2 years now. I want to know what it's like to be fully recovered, to feel beautiful. I've been trying to get better for so long now that some days I just want to give up. I went through another relapse today and I'm emotionally unstable. Do you have any suggestions?
Anonymous asked: i want to get better, but i don't want to get fatter. any advice on how to deal with gaining weight?
Anonymous asked: When I went into treatment for anorexia I gained 20 pounds. My mom removed me from the program and now openly taunts me about my appearance and weight. I am dealing with self-harm issues, suicide attempts, and self-destructive methods of dealing with the fact that I hate myself. I don't want this anymore.
I am going to try and get to all your questions by tonight. Sorry we are taking so long to answer!

Anonymous asked: Hi. This question has been on my mind for some time and I think I've finally found the right place to ask it. I'm fairly certain I have an eating disorder and if I don't, then I have disordered eating patterns that are on the verge of becoming an ED. I know I won't be able to afford any kind of professional treatment so I've been hesitant to get help. Should I still...
jayjaygenocide asked: I'm pretty sure I have Binge Eating Disorder. I was anorexic for about a year and a half (I had an ex who just kind of drove it on me. Long story). I've been able to eat normally for a little while. But I still feel guilt in eating. When I'm upset, I either restrict, or I binge. I've never purged, so I was confused as to if I had an eating disorder or not. Lately I've been...

tobetter-things asked: hi! i was wondering if you could give me some information on the dangers of binge eating (without purging)? I know it is dangerous but i've mostly just heard about the dangers of bingeing AND purging together. thank you so much! <3
Binge Eating
Binge eating is the one disorder that tends to get overlooked a lot, as people often just put it down to greed, or ‘a little bit of comfort eating’, which it isn’t. That’s one of the most important things to understand, if you are suffering from Binge eating disorder, it’s just that, a disorder, and you can get help to overcome it-and it’s important you do...
Anonymous asked: I've had anorexia and bulimia for about 3 years. I've been getting help for two ears. I'm so scared. I can feel it destroying me and I want to be free. But the harder I try to stop the harder it is to stop. My dr thinks I need a bit of inpatient. My parents are dead set against it because they don't want me missing school. I'm terrified. I hate myself and everything in it....

To all those who are suffering an eating disorder...

You have every right to ask for help. Even if...
